Alves Ludovico (1990, Lisbon)​As an experimental designer, Alves Ludovico is interested in transforming objects into an intellectual stimulus by working intensively on the form and function. Therefore he develops as many prototypes as possible. Ultimately, the final definition often results from a sort of mistake.

Instead of understanding the boundaries between these areas as limitations, he sees them as innovative sphere to create.
